I am so happy to welcome back for the second time Rosemary Eichorn.
Rosemary is a very talented teacher and such a pleasure to work with. She makes class fun and is so inspirational. A member of the California Fiber Arts Guild she has been sewing since she was a small girl, learning from her Mom who was a Home Ec teacher. She graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Art and Textiles. Rosemary says “I love Art because making Art makes me happy” and when you meet her you will realize how important that statement is to what she teaches. She has had four quilts entered at the Bernina Fashion Show at Quilt Houston and she was featured in the Threads Magazines Designer Challenge.

For this class she will help you develop your quilting design potential using fabric collage to make an art quilt or art-wear such as a jacket or vest. You will learn the techniques in Rosemary’s classic book the Art of Fabric Collage and then stretch to include those elegant laces, ribbons, silks and satins you have been collecting. Free motion stitching methods using traditional and novelty threads will e incorporated. We will also include embellishment techniques such as bobbin couching, beading and distressing fabrics, surface design techniques, and alternative materials such as Tyvek, Fantasy Film, Crystalina and Angelina fibers and metal shim. Emphasis is on developing personal style and design assessment skills.

Level: Confident beginner to advanced.
